Student performers took the stage at UCI’s Crystal Cove Auditorium on April 4 to sing, dance and demonstrate many other talents for the third annual One World Concert, a yearly celebration of the world’s many cultures, hosted by Associated Graduate Students.

Around 300 people attended. Admission was free, and those on hand were treated to a display of talents tied to countries from all over the world. As a bonus, anyone who came dressed in traditional attire from their home country had a chance to win prizes. Among the performers were graduate and undergraduate students hailing from Japan, China, India and many other locales.

Highlights of this year’s show included a wushu martial arts exhibition, classical dances from Mongolia and India, UCI graduate Kasia Bitner’s performance of a Polish opera song, and a Brazilian martial arts demonstration by UCI’s Capoeira Tamandua group. Other performances included poetry reading and a “Nomad Jam” played on a darbuka.
